What books have made you REALLY REALLY cry?

[QuimReaper]

The only one I can think of for myself is "Goodnight Mr Tom", when Zach dies, but especially when Willie has to leave to go back to London

Odd Thomas.

Very slow in parts but worth persevering with.

Atonement
My Sister's Keeper

The DaVinci Code (yes I know it's mostly bollocks) stirred so much emotion, very powerful. Book and film.

Under the hawthorn tree - martina conlon McKenna

My sisters Keeper - but tears of rage and frustration as I felt I had been manipulated and hated the end. Had to be quiet ones as it was 2 in the morning and DH was sleeping but boy was I cross
A man called Ove - not to be read on a train
I also gave an involuntary loud cry of shock when reading about the red wedding in the Game of Thrones books (can't remember which one)

The ending of the Book Theif.
And A Fault in Our Stars; 'lit up like a Christmas tree' 😢

Solomon's tail, then it got worse, Solomon's kitten 😭

The end of The Amateur Marriage by Anne Tyler, when he imagines seeing his ex wife in the garden of their old home.
The last sentence of Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close, when the boy imagines a scenario if his father hadn't been in the Twin Towers that fateful day "We would have been safe."
The last paragraph of Eve Chase's Black Rabbit Hall. I lent it to DD when she went on holiday, and she sobbed so much reading it on the plane home, people got concerned!

A man called Ove
Lion: A Long Way Home - has me sobbing and I had to go in my sleeping kids rooms and kiss & hug them when I'd finished it.
The tea planters wife
Adam Kay - This is going to hurt - so funny until the end where I sobbed, I also saw the tour and sobbed at that too - made me reach out and hold DH tight because I know he's been through those heartbreaking moments and it does take a huge toll on him.

The Lido

Goodnight Beautiful by Dorothy Koomson.

Testament of Youth. I was about 17 and cried for days.

Goodbye Mog. I can’t even think about it without tearing up.
As an adult, One Day, when Emma is killed. And bits of the Goldfinch, mostly the bits involving the dog. (I wished we knew what happened to Popchyk in the end).

The Song of Achilles. Had me sobbing for a full day, that did.

A little life by Hanya Yanagihara.
I was prepared not to cry but in the end I did.

Captain Correlli’s mandolin by Louis de Bernieres. The bittersweet ending made me sob.

@greenteandchives - definitely Goodbye Mog - a total tearjerker also the children’s book - Seven Little Australians - the last chapter!

Family, by Susan Hill. She is a wonderful writer anyway, and this is the story of her premature baby. It's simply brilliant and I still cry every time I read it.

Lots that have already been mentioned but also
The Shock of The Fall

A Thousand Splendid Suns

This little life and the goldfinch both beautiful books

A little life... I’m a muppet!!

A Little life
A thousand splendid suns
Me before you - snotty bawling.

When Matthew dies in Anne of Green gables. Even cried reading it to my children

Lots of these made me cry a bit, but All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven made me ugly cry.

The fault in our stars (as has been mentioned a few times) and Eleanor Oliphant.

The Girl At The Lion D'Or - I cried for two days solid.
